"All the beasts that live in Italy have a cave, a lair, a shelter. Instead the men that fight and die for Italy just have only sky and light. They move with their women an their children without shelter and without home. The generals lie whene they say to the soldiers to fight against enemy for the tombs of their ancestors and for the other gods of the family, because none of these Romans now have altars or tombs in their home. No, they fight and die for the eagerness and the wealth of other persons. They called themselves Lords of the World, but the own nothing at all"
Tiberius Graccus, from "Vita Tiberii et Caii Gracci", Plutarch
